News

In early May, 20 volunteers from the Chicago area filled a 40-foot container with 400 computer sets to go to connect 20 schools of the Archdiocese of Kaduna, Nigeria.  The WCE Chicago volunteers gathered and tested computers for this shipment.  We also sourced some of the needed computers from recycler PCRR of Chicago.

One of the WCE Chicago volunteers will be part of the the WCE eCorps team of 10 techies who will be going to Kaduna to help with training and networking from August 9-24.  You can see a story about this on our home page.

Volunteering

We need volunteers from Chicago to help to accomplish the following five tasks:

• Pick-up, inventory, test and pack donated used computers
• Coordinate public computer donation events and related marketing
• Recruit participation of local universities and high schools
• Raise sponsorship funds to help WCE Partners with the last 1/3 of the sourcing and shipping costs
• Recruit volunteers to help WCE with our work in the field or to be a tech volunteer on one of our eCorps trips
